About this episode
There’s a lot of confusing information out there about how runners should approach strength training. Some people say you should use very light weights and do a ton of reps so you don’t bulk up too much. Other people suggest lifting super heavy weights and doing fewer reps but that seems a little scary and not a very good choice for long-distance runners. So what’s the right answer for you? That’s what this episode is all about! In this episode, I will explain the difference between training for strength, power, and hypertrophy for runners. By the end of this episode, you will have a much clearer understanding of these different resistance training methodologies and how to do them correctly.
